Hi everyone

I have 3 weeks left of my 12 week orientation and I'm absolutely having panic attacks about being on my own.

I have not had a consistent preceptor my entire orientation. I get moved to a new person every week because everyone keeps going on vacation. I will tell my new preceptor that I'm taking 4-5 patients this week, only for them to helicopter me and not let me do anything other than pass meds amd chart.

We usually get 8 patients and I'm barely up to 5 patients this weekend. I only started doing wound care 2 weeks ago. I've never had to do any IV stuff including the pump, tube feeds til this weekend, etc. I've never had to speak to the doctor other than Epic chat but my preceptor told me what to write.

I'm having nightmares about not being ready every single night. I don't know what to do? We have 2 hours to pass HS meds for 8 patients when we have a full load and I'm taking up to 2 hours for 4-5 patients.

Any advice is appreciated. I'm embarrassed to talk to my manager. 🥺

Hi

I've previously dyed my hair black for a long time. I haven't dyed it in like 1.5 years, so it's a dark reddish brown at the moment with brunette roots for like 3 or 4 inches. I'm looking to add highlights or balayage.

I went to Alt Salon and the most they could do for me was a really red orange color or chop my elbow length hair off to shoulders. I'm ok with losing some length but not that much. They also charge a ton.

Any good, reputable artists that can help that you recommend? I'm ok with it being a process to get there.
